Press Release

The following Press Release has been written and circulated by AuthorHouse


ENOUGH! Islamophobia

By Ibraheem

PRESS RELEASE

Through a comprehensive examination of the Torah and the Gospels,
Danish author Ibraheem delivers a provocative book not only repudiating
the Judeo-Christian doctrines that permeate Western civilization, but also
espousing a non-violent Jihad.


Between what Ibraheem terms the colossal fraud known as "the war on
terror" and the most urgent and tragic modern political crisis, the on-going
dispute between Israel and the Palestinians, Muslims have probably never
faced greater persecution for their faith than in the twenty-first century.

Considering the scriptures that form the foundations of the very doctrines
which support Judeo-Christian values, is such intolerance justifiable?
Through a comprehensive study of both the Torah and the Gospels,
ENOUGH! Islamophobia provides an astute and compelling counter-attack
to the escalating injustices that Islam and Muslims are incessantly
subjected to. Drawing upon nearly 1000 verses from the Torah and over
350 from the Gospels, Ibraheem delivers a methodical and rational
examination of the central books of Judaism and Christianity.


Quoting directly from the holy books of Judaism and Christianity, the author
conveys a rousing two-fold criticism of these mainstream faiths supported
by extensive cross-referencing. Ibraheem’s impassioned writing in
ENOUGH! Islamophobia aims to not only initiate a complete reappraisal of
Judeo-Christian doctrines, but also instigate a public debate on whether
such seemingly intolerant systems of thought should be allowed to operate
freely in a civilized world.

Islamophobia is a rapidly growing global issue that must be resolved and
Ibraheem’s extensive examination of the antagonistic religions holds the
key.

On account of his lucid approach to such a complex and controversial
subject, Ibraheem’s radical study promotes a complete re-evaluation of the
Islamic faith and thereby indirectly its acceptance in Western civilization.


About the Author:
Ibraheem is Danish, a convert to Islam, and a former freelance computer
systems analyst and programmer, a background that makes him well
equipped for analytical work in other fields. After many years in IT,
Ibraheem retired in order to concentrate on creative writing, poetry in
particular. While ENOUGH! Islamophobia is his first published book he has
already planned a second volume and his poems are being prepared for
print.
Ibraheem currently resides in Copenhagen, Denmark.

For the Ummah

To all my Brothers and Sisters in Islam

After years of Islamophobia your sense of
justice is probably just as enraged as mine.

Here at last you have some hard-hitting answers
should you or your faith be accused of being
radical-fanatical-extremist-fundamentalist
or dangerous and barbaric.

By all means listen to the abuse,
as politely as you can -
BUT ANSWER! FIGHT BACK!

Read some of these quotes to them,
they are straight from the holy books
of Judaism and Christianity.

Throw all this right in their faces
until they cover their ears and go away.

We can do it, so GO TO IT!

Tell all your friends!

Spread the GOOD NEWS!

It is my hope that this book will become
a classic and a kind of reference work,
not for academics in universities,
but for Muslims in general, and indeed
for anybody on our planet concerned
about current developments worldwide.

- 11 September 2001
- the so-called War on Terror
- Israel / Palestine
and related subjects

As a "white ethnic Dane" who has worked, lived and
travelled extensively in Islamic as well as non-Islamic
countries, and who converted to Islam in 2006, I do
feel that I am in an excellent position to comment on
the very serious and rapidly growing problems between
the Islamic world and the West.

Muslims seeing and hearing me will get reassurance that
not all "white Westerners" are Islamophobic cartoonists
constantly out to demonise them and, conversely, "white
Westerners" seeing and hearing me might sit up, take
notice and reflect that you do not have to be an Arab or
an Asian to embrace Islam and hold views generally
considered alien to those of the West.

What I have to say is, although best expressed in poetry,
straight and clear no-nonsense, based on my conviction
that Islam and Muslims have nothing to apologise for, and
we should therefore hold our heads high whilst tirelessly
pointing out the despicable double standards that the Judeo-
Christian West is employing in its dealings with the rest of
the world, Muslims in particular, the most painfully obvious
cases being the so-called War on Terror and the continued
terrible plight of the Palestinians.

ENOUGH! Foreword

FOREWORD

Writing this book has been one of those rare occasions where you
achieve much more than you planned or hoped for when you set
out, and although the project spread, and kept spreading, way
beyond what was initially anticipated and therefore took a lot
longer to complete than expected, it means that all the time
invested was very well spent.
Al-hamdu-lillah! (=the praise belongs to God).

The DID YOU KNOW section demonstrates in a condensed format
what these 2 studies answer-expose-prove-reveal but let us just
take a brief look at some of the more startling findings:

> that Muslims are right in claiming that the scriptures of both
the Jews and the Christians are corrupted, and the importance is
that we have proven it again and again, not based on personal
wishful thinking or rumours and gossip but using method and
logic, so we have established beyond any doubt that the well-
known Islamic claims are actually and factually true.

> that more than 90 percent of those classified as "Jews" today
are in fact neither Semitic nor Hebrew, as not from the line of
Abraham-Isaac-Jacob, and therefore not Jewish, meaning that the
total current world population of real Jews is not the generally
quoted 13 to 15 million, or 0.2 percent of humanity, but only
somewhere between 1 and 1.5 million, or 0.02 percent of us.
Will the world please take note and start acting accordingly NOW.

> that all Arabs are not only Semitic, which we knew already,
but also Hebrew, probably as difficult to comprehend and accept
for the reader as for the writer, but the evidence is clear so the
conclusion is inevitable and indisputable.

> that Ishmael, first-born son of Abraham, and not Isaac, is the
rightful heir to The Promised Land. Some of us have suspected
this all along but now it is out in the open for all to see and
understand, assuming you want to, for although the argument
is very long and built up from more than 10 chapters of Genesis,
it is wonderfully simple.

> that Judaism explicitly forbids humans re-establishing Israel.
We found no less than 84 verses in the Five Books of Moses which
all tell the same story, and not one single verse contradicting it.
The consequences are clear: Zionist colonisers OUT of Palestine.

> that the commonly heard phrase "an Israel stretching from
the Nile to the Euphrates" is not only directly contradicted by
the Law of Moses but on more than one occasion indirectly made
impossible, laughable and hallucinatory.

> that the Law of Moses makes it clear that goyim (=non-Jews,
foreigners) exist only to be exploited or enslaved or eradicated
as Judaism sees fit.

> that Judaism commands the Jews NOT to make peace with
either the people of neighbouring countries or with the
foreigners living in The Promised Land.

> that Judaism commands that other religions are not only
overthrown and repressed but completely eradicated.

> that Judaism commands holy war, ethnic cleansing, genocide,
all to be achieved through holocausts resulting in the total
annihilation of the goyim, including obliterating anything which
might remind the world that the vanquished people ever existed.

> that Judaism commands human sacrifice, to the God of Israel
Yahweh, who thereby indisputably is revealed to be the Jewish
equivalent of the Canaanite's Moloch, who is repeatedly and
absolutely condemned in the Law of Moses not only as a horrible
monster but also as a false god. It takes one to know one...
You may have to read that again, and slowly, but it is a sad
and dreadful undeniable fact of Judaism, until now generally
regarded as a dignified and noble religion. But truth will out.

> that Judaism as defined by the Law of Moses is entirely void
of spirituality. How, then, can it still be called a religion?

> that according to the Law of Moses, wholeheartedly endorsed
by Jesus on more than one occasion, the Jews were quite right to
condemn Jesus to death (for blasphemy).

> that, by endorsing the entire Law of Moses, it follows that Jesus
approves of: human sacrifice, genocide, ethnic cleansing, stoning
homosexuals and many others to death, eradicating competing
cultures and religions, the welfare of his own group to the
exclusion of all others etc. The Pope never told us any of this.

> that Jesus forfeits his own right to eternal life, for he states
that in order to have eternal life we must obey the Law of Moses,
which he breaks himself repeatedly. Most amusing.

> that Holy Communion, the new ritual invented by Jesus,
violates the Law of Moses by ordering his followers to drink his
blood, which is repeatedly and absolutely outlawed in Judaism,
so participating in this revolting cannibalistic and Satanic ritual
would therefore be punishable by death. Most hilarious.

> that, although denied by Muslims, Jesus DOES claim to be the
son of God for we found no less than 31 verses in the 4 Gospels
that confirm it, and there are many more waiting to be listed.

> that Jesus was a radical extremist, steadfastly going out of his
way to ridicule and lecture the leading teachers and clerics of the
time, in his own ultra-provocative know-all manner.

> that Jesus was a sorcerer using black (=evil) magic, was a
pyromaniac, a megalomaniac, merciless and arrogant, a serial
blasphemer, he came to bring trouble and not peace, and wishes
to watch his enemies being killed.
Why have Christians down the ages never told us about all this?

> that Jesus wishes you a horrible death for no other reason than
rejecting his message, namely that you may perish in a holocaust
worse than the one inflicted upon Sodom and Gomorrah.
So much for the Prince of Peace. Lies, all lies.

> that there is no evidence to support the universally accepted
claim and belief that Jesus was from the family of David.
Surprisingly, only 2 of the 4 Gospels address the issue at all and,
while at first glance the family lines presented look both thorough
and impressive, when closely examined and analysed they turn
out to be not only wildly out of synchronisation but mutually
exclusive, with catastrophic results.

> that Jesus as presented in the 4 Gospels was a shameless
impostor and a false prophet, comically one of the many that
he himself warned us about. It takes one to know one...

> that, contrary to common misconceptions, Jesus was sent ONLY
to the Jews, as repeatedly stated both by Jesus himself and by
arch-angel Gabriel (=Jibreel), a major and very pleasant surprise,
indeed, we now consider this fact to be the Good News itself.
All Christians, please take note and stop proselytising to all non-
Jews, meaning 99.98 percent of humanity, and IMMEDIATELY.
Clearly Christianity is counterfeit goods and has for 2000 years
been knowingly marketed under a false declaration on content
and ingredients. Is there a world-wide money back guarantee?


Already after these few samples we are hopefully all agreed that
it must be both reasonable and appropriate to ask Jews and
Christians the following question:
Have you honestly never noticed any of the clear discrepancies or
obvious contradictions, or any of the horrible and barbaric aspects
of your faith that we reveal here and bring to the world's
attention?
Whether you knew but said nothing, or you were too lazy or
afraid to examine your own faith, so blissfully unaware - it does
not really matter which group you fall into: if you still criticised
and demonised Islam and Muslims, you should be thoroughly
ashamed of yourselves, pray for forgiveness every day and
seek rehabilitation.
Now that at last it has all been brought to your notice, and in
plain language, you cannot plead ignorance any longer.
The logical and decent course of action would therefore be to
repent and reform.

Maybe above everything else, we demonstrate what we claim
right at the beginning, namely that, compared with the holy
books and the prophets of Judaism and Christianity, clearly Islam
and Muslims and the Quran and prophet Muhammad (pbuh) have
NOTHING to apologise for.
Will the world please take note and start acting accordingly NOW.

We remind all Islamophobes, whether they are ultra-orthodox
Jews or arch-Zionists or Christian Evangelicals or neo-Crusaders,
that if they do not like the contents of this book, and find us one
who will, they should not howl and squeal in protest but look in
the mirror, for their own devious and despicable behaviour is
entirely to blame, in other words: this devastating review of
Judaism and Christianity could have been avoided.
But Islamophobes asked for it, indeed they begged, insistently -
so here it is...

Peace to the world,

ENOUGH! Introduction

After years of Islamophobia,
here is the devastating counter-attack:

ENOUGH! Islamophobia

THIS IS JUDAISM - THIS IS CHRISTIANITY

INTRODUCTION

1.
Combined these 2 studies present a devastating picture of
Judaism and Christianity, and thereby of the Judeo-Christian
"values" that Western civilisation is based upon.
From their behaviour, both separately and collectively, it is clear
that the Jews and the Christians are in a state of complete denial
as regards even the possibility of any imperfections in their own
systems of belief and conduct, so tirelessly point angry fingers of
blame at Islam and Muslims in a breathless and hateful chorus of
Islamophobia.
Whenever unfairly attacked, as clearly is the case here, we have
every right and every reason to defend ourselves.
This is the counter-attack.

2.
The studies will win no friends and admirers among Jews and
Christians and Islamophobes, but instead of ranting and raving
they should rectify their behaviour, for they have only themselves
to blame: although I have long been interested in all the major
scriptures and have browsed them for many years, Islamophobia
was the direct catalyst for doing these detailed studies at all, or at
least doing them now, as a matter of urgency, and the driving
force behind them was the same enraged sense of justice which
in the last few years has driven most of the 116 poems totalling
16,500 lines (December 2010) which can be read on my website
www.poems.ibraheem.dk.
The purpose of these studies is not to ridicule, provoke, and
shock, sadly the main forms of expression chosen by many
Islamophobes, but to correct misapprehensions and inform,
as part of my non-violent jihad in support of Islam.

Let me stress right away that I am not a scholar, not an
academic, so these are not learned treatises on the finer points of
this or that, no thesis for a phd, nor an expression of any formal
Islamic position generally or on any particular issue - I leave that
for the experts. The studies are simply my own thoughts and
musings on Judaism and Christianity after a thorough reading of
the Old and New Testaments (OT and NT throughout).
Some may find the language sometimes too harsh or maybe too
disrespectful but, compared with that of the leading and most
vocal Islamophobes, it is indisputably restrained.
Anyone who disagrees with me on any specific point is welcome
to try to refute what I say, naturally staying within the limits of
plausibility.
However, the strongest arguments put forward here
are not my comments but the actual OT and NT quotes
themselves, which nobody can refute.

Even without any elaborations, those quotes collectively are a
terrible indictment of Judaism and Christianity, and ought to force
a complete rethink of what those faiths are and stand for, as well
as a serious public debate on whether such brutally intolerant
systems of thought should be allowed to operate freely in a
civilised world.

3.
These 2 studies are also a warning to the world about the clear
and present danger posed by Judaism in the form of International
Zionism, for the first thing to understand about the current witch
hunt against all things Islamic and Muslim is that it is totally
artificial and engineered, and it is only happening because
International Zionism, also known as the New World Order, wants
it to happen, as one more step in its long slow march to world
domination.
Whatever acts of terrorism the Muslim world may carry out
against targets in, or of, the Christian West do not arise out of a
vacuum but are natural, entirely predictable and above all normal
healthy human RE-actions to the atrocities perpetrated against it
by the Christian West and its Zionist masters for about a century
now, and as such are both perfectly understandable and richly
deserved, just as popular resistance movements like Hizbollah
and Hamas are the direct and inevitable consequences of Israel's
illegal and barbaric policies for decades.

Reduced to one sound bite it could all be stated as follows:
YOUR GOODS RETURNED TO YOU.

Alternatively, for the technically minded, Newton's Third Law
of Motion (1687, still valid) states bluntly:
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

As a fairly recent convert to Islam, it is intolerable for me to
witness the constant demonising of Islam and Muslims, in
particular the despicable and outrageous demagoguery of the
major and well-known Islamophobes, both individuals and
groups, such as, in random order:
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Geert Wilders, Pia Kjaersgaard (founder/leader
of the far-right Danish People's Party), Salman Rushdie, Ibn
Warraq, Bat Yeor, Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, Steven Emerson,
neo-Conservatives, Zionists, every televangelist and every
Christian Zionist.
I would be willing to debate any of them, or all of them at once.

Some of the above have seriously suggested that much of the
Quran should be torn out or rewritten, or the entire book should
be banned, as it allegedly encourages violence against non-
Muslims in general and Jews in particular, that it prescribes, and
therefore justifies, hostility towards women, that it is generally
barbaric etc etc.
And they have the audacity to call good and decent Islamists
"Islamo-Fascists" and their view of the world "Islamo-Fascism".

Is George W Bush a Muslim? Tony Blair? Their predecessors or
successors? Anders Fogh Rasmussen (former Danish PM of
cartoon-row "fame" and now, incredibly, NATO general secretary),
and all the other democratically elected "leaders" who, based on
packs of obscene lies, ordered their armed forces to join the
illegal and barbaric invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and
Iraq? And who have been concocting all sorts of devious schemes
such as extraordinary rendition in order to circumvent both noble
international conventions governing decent and civilised behaviour,
and also their own national constitutions, - or have covertly taken
part in such schemes, or at least silently and passively have let it all
happen right under their noses, when civilised people would immediately
have cried foul and brought it all to the world's attention.
Those mentioned above are all Christians of course, yet nobody
calls their behaviour Christo-Fascism. WHY NOT?

Have the members of successive Israeli governments been
Muslims? Israel was indisputably created through terrorism of
the most deceitful and barbaric kinds imaginable (during al-Nakba
(=the catastrophe) 1948-49 the Zionist colonisers ethnically
cleansed Palestine of 750,000, or just over half its indigenous
Arab population, 34 documented massacres, 500 villages
eradicated, wells poisoned etc etc), and Israel has indisputably
been maintained ever since through devious and brutal state
terrorism.
Almost everything that Israel does in relation to its neighbours,
and much of what it does to its own Arab citizens, comprising
almost one fifth of its population and rising, is quite simply
illegal according to dignified international law.
The tragedy is that the oh-so-civilised world and that mythical
"international community" does not demand and force Israel to
comply with those conventions and laws.
But unless forced to do so, why should a violent criminal change
his ways of a lifetime? Unless forced to do so, why should a
common thief even consider returning his stolen goods?
Israel's rulers are all Jews of course, yet nobody calls their
behaviour Judeo-Fascism. WHY NOT?

We see a truly devious and benighted mindset at work today:
just mention national security or accuse some Muslim of being a
terrorist or fundamentalist or radical or extremist, and the Israel-
Zionist-America-Russia-UK-EU-NATO-Judeo-Christian-collective-
West-New-World-Order-Coalition-of-the-Killing: the true AXIS of
EVIL, feels justified in doing to other people what Yahweh
commands Moses to do, and what Jesus wishes to do to anyone
rejecting his message: smashing infrastructure and blowing men,
women and children to bits in one holocaust after another, and
doing it today from Gaza and Lebanon to Iraq and Somalia and
Yemen to Chechnya and Afghanistan and Pakistan.
A world claiming to be a civilised place, or having any aspirations
of ever becoming one, would have forcibly stopped such barbaric
behaviour a long time ago.

Remember, the catalyst for the continuing feast of destruction
and death known as The War on Terror was 11 September 2001,
that "new Pearl Harbor" that the American Zionists and neo-
Conservatives had openly and shamelessly longed for, as such
an event would be very helpful, or maybe even essential, in
convincing the American public of the urgent need for decisive
and bold American worldwide leadership, which is the same as
the Zionist world domination mentioned earlier, and that "policy"
to be implemented through pre-emptive wars of aggression.

But before demonising Islam and Muslims, America should
explain adequately and coherently to the world at least the
following 3 things, among countless others that remain entirely
unexplained by the establishment, regarding what took place
that day:

- how exactly did the 3 towers in New York collapse?
The official version is incompatible with the laws of physics as
they manifest themselves on this planet (see also p.253-254),

- what exactly hit the Pentagon?
Clearly NOT the large passenger plane we are told,

- how was it possible for NORAD to overlook for so long 4 large
passenger planes following highly unusual courses in the most
sensitive part of US airspace?
Only explanation: they were deliberately overlooked.

It is both obvious and irrefutable that the official version of
events CANNOT be true, as anyone spending just half a day
researching these matters on the Internet must accept, which
immediately exposes the US administration, past and present
and no doubt future, as obstructing the facts and the truth.
That we still have to ask questions like these nearly 10 years
after the event is surely overwhelming confirmation of the utter
bankruptcy of those wonderful Judeo-Christian "values".

The ghastly consequence of that colossal fraud known as The War
on Terror is that Muslims are being persecuted and killed around
the world, proving again the accuracy of the late Ayatollah
Khomeini's unsurpassed sound bite description of America:
the Great Satan.

4
.
It is relevant to mention here a news story from late 2009:

A radical-fanatical-extremist West Bank rabbi (read: land-
grabbing illegal settler) by the name of Yitzhak Shapira published
a book co-authored by a Yossi Elitzur called The King's Torah in
which he argues the theological case, based of course on the
Torah and Talmud, for justifying Jews killing and eradicating
anyone perceived to be an actual or a potential threat to Israel,
even babies and children who would likely grow up to hate Israel,
and anyone violating any of the commandments in the Torah.
The book and its inherent decree to commit murder and, if
deemed necessary, genocide, is backed by several Israeli rabbis
including Yitzhak Ginsburg and Yaakov Yosef, who have
apparently recommended it to their students.
The similarity with the Nazi superiority complex is painfully
obvious and hugely embarrassing for Judaism.
Was Shapira arrested or even questioned about those grotesque
and obscene utterances?

There is a very disturbing parallel with Christian radical-fanatical-
extremists:
many American televangelists have used totally outrageous
language in describing Islam, for example Rod Parsley, who has
openly declared (words to the effect) that "part of America's
divine mission is to wage war on and destroy the false religion
of Islam" and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) "was the
mouthpiece of a conspiracy of spiritual evil".
Was Parsley arrested or even questioned about those grotesque
and obscene utterances?

Just think about it:
what would happen if ANY Muslim, scholar or imam or whatever,
stood up and said anything like that about Jews and Christians,
or about anyone else for that matter, or wrote a book expressing
such sentiments? Extraordinary rendition and secret indefinite
detention without trial, or at the very least immediate arrest and
charges of glorifying terrorism and inciting hatred and violence.
But, conforming to the nauseating hypocrisy of the Judeo-
Christian West, when Jews and Christians and atheists do it,
it is reluctantly and minimally reported and swiftly forgotten,
or completely ignored, and not immediately seized upon as
unacceptable, inflammatory, verbal terrorism and so on.
YET THAT IS WHAT IT IS AND IT MUST STOP - AND NOW!

5.
As regards allegations of threatening or violent or hateful
language in the Quran, no Islamophobe has ever, to the best of
my knowledge, mentioned even the possibility that there may be
similar statements to be found in the holy books of the Jews and
the Christians: the Tanakh and the Bible.

These 2 studies set out to redress that imbalance, proving that
there are masses of such statements, many of them of a
profoundly disturbing nature, and indisputably far more extreme
than anything encountered in the Quran.
Quite apart from being outrageous and offensive, such verses
are incredibly dangerous, because there are fools who take such
nonsense to be a divine promise or command, and cynical
colonisers who go along with the foolish interpretation, so
complementing each other perfectly, to the deceit, detriment,
destitution, destruction and death of all they come into contact
with.

Having long suspected that such sentiments could be found in the
OT and the NT, I was not disappointed, indeed it was surprising,
sometimes frightening, to find how easy it was to prove my case.
Much of the language of the OT and some of the NT is terrifying in
its ferocity and intolerance, echoing Nazi ideology in the wish to
eradicate and exterminate those who are different. Do not take
my word for it - read the 2 studies and prepare to be shocked.

Having initially considered presenting the evidence in the same
way that Islamophobes have treated the Quran for years, namely
by selecting individual verses and presenting them at face value,
out of the proper context and without any relevant background
information, in the end I resisted the temptation to use their own
cheap and dishonest methods, so have to the best of my ability
done the opposite, that is, provided both a context and some
background, frequent cross-referencing etc.

Christian Islamophobes often attempt to discredit Islam and the
Quran by using quotes from their own scriptures as evidence set
if not in concrete then in tablets of stone. These studies
deliberately avoid that tactic, for as will be clearly shown it is a
grave mistake, in particular when you base your assertions on
such incoherent and unreliable texts as the OT and the NT.

It is very significant that for Islam and Muslims to mount a
devastating counter-attack, there is no need to distort any
statement encountered in the OT and the NT, no need for creative
interpretations, no need to resort to contorted and disingenuous
arguments mixed perhaps with personal wishful thinking:
instead, simply let the quotes speak their own loud and clear
language, then add some relevant comments based on common
sense and logic, and the combination must surely be convincing
enough for all but the absolute radical-fanatical-extremist-
fundamentalist Jew or Christian or Zionist or Islamophobe to
realise that Islam and Muslims have nothing to apologise for.

That nobody in the West has compiled anything like this before
for both the OT and the NT should tell decent people everywhere
all they need to know about the motives and intentions of the
contemporary Judeo-Christian world, pretending to be oh-so-
civilised and presenting itself as the model of perfection to be
forced, by itself of course, upon everyone else, so in effect
playing God, usurping the role of the very Creator it claims to
worship and serve, re-engineering the world in its own image,
for its own selfish and entirely materialistic purposes.

And, to the best of my knowledge, surprisingly no Muslim has
until now done studies like these.
May I ask all my Brothers and Sisters: WHY NOT?

The resulting studies are acutely embarrassing for Islamophobes,
whether they are Jewish, Christian, ex-Muslim, atheist or
anything else, in particular for the so-called intellectuals among
them, who might well know most of this already, at least in
outline, but who in their abysmal dishonesty fail to mention any
of it, simply because they are neither interested in facts nor in a
fair and reasonable comparison, for they have an evil agenda to
further, so do all they can to steer the public debate in the
direction they want.
In relation to Islam and subjects like Israel-Palestine, terrorism,
the spread of democracy, immigration, nuclear technology and
weapons of mass destruction, the entire public discourse in the
West has in recent years been, and tragically continues to be,
fundamentally dishonest and unworthy of a civilised society.

That a number of the well-known Islamophobes have stated in
public that they hold Judeo-Christian values, despite maybe
claiming to be atheists, only makes matters much worse,
as we shall see what those "values" are.

6.
All discrepancies noticed in the OT and the NT are mentioned and
listed mainly as proof upon proof that neither one text nor the
other as they exist today can possibly be claimed or believed by
anyone to be either infallible or revealed, whether divinely or not,
or perfectly preserved since transmitted, whenever that may have
been.
As will be demonstrated, both texts are simply chaotic due to the
number of times they directly contradict themselves, and not on
trivial details but on fundamental issues.
That this should be so is quite simply baffling as we know that
entire schools of scribes and scholars worked on these projects,
people who enjoyed great reputations for precision and accuracy,
and to whom it was not only a paid job but also a religious duty,
so would surely do their utmost to transmit the texts faithfully.
And maybe they did just that, but out of respect and reverence
ignored all the obvious errors and contradictions, knowingly
passing them on. If so, it would mean that the original sources
were riddled with inconsistencies.

In several places the 2 studies ask: were there no proofreaders
back in those days? For on a number of occasions we are faced
with mutually exclusive versions of the same event.
If only the writers or re-writers had taken the time and trouble
EITHER to synchronise the 2 versions of a particular story, OR
simply had removed one of them entirely, and it does not matter
which one, THEN the text would, on that point at least, appear
credible, genuine, original, wholesome and (almost) believable.
But they left both versions in and now it is too late for any major
editing, the deadline for that passed around 2000 years ago.
As it is, it presents a sorry spectacle and overwhelming proof that
both texts are incoherent and unreliable, and every discrepancy
found further strengthens Islamic claims that both the Tawrat and
Injeel (=Torah and Gospels to Muslims) as they exist today are
corrupted.

Alternatively, any devout purist of the Ahl al-Kitab (=People of
the Book=Jews and Christians) who claims the texts to be the
literal and living word of God must therefore also honestly,
decently and wholeheartedly accept the consequences, which
can be reduced to one word: devastating.

Should ultra-orthodox Jews and born-again Christians shrug off
the masses of evidence presented here with the simple phrase:
"The ways of the Lord are inscrutable" they will only continue to
live the denial already practised by their respective faiths for
2000 years. But that is not our problem.

The Creator undoubtedly has many different qualities but
ignorance and incompetence are not among them.

There are of course many verses in the Quran which explicitly
state that it is, not only but also, a confirmation of what went
before it: the Tawrat and Injeel - so many Islamophobes and
others would therefore say that all Muslims must embrace those
scriptures as their own, period. YES and NO. We keep an open
mind about these matters and should anything approaching
internally coherent and credible versions ever be shown to us,
we will of course eagerly examine them and give the world our
considered opinion. Please keep this in mind throughout.

7.
The present work is in 4 parts, consisting of this INTRODUCTION,
a revealing and shocking DID YOU KNOW section, plus the 2
separate studies THIS IS JUDAISM and THIS IS CHRISTIANITY.

The studies neither claim to be exhaustive nor perfect. Although
every verse and every reference has been checked several times,
it is still possible that there are mistakes, which are of course
mine. Should any reader find any, I would appreciate notification
and the correction will appear in the next available edition.

In order to be able to present this information to the general
public sooner rather than later, the first version of the 2 studies
will be limited ones, covering only the first few books of the OT
and the NT but that is more than sufficient to conclusively prove
the case, in particular as those basic books cover precisely the
core "values" of the two faiths.
In the Bible version that has been used, the Easy Read Version
(ERV), see below, as regards the OT, the first five books,
traditionally attributed to Moses, total 172 pages, whereas the full
OT runs to 772, and as for the NT, the first four books, known as
the Gospels, total 110 pages whereas the full NT runs to 245 -
that is, this initial version entails studying just under 300 pages
as opposed to just over 1000.
As the examination requires reading every single verse
thoroughly, and frequently more than once, it will be appreciated
that to do so systematically for the full OT and the full NT is a
daunting task, therefore this "limited edition" first, with maybe a
full version completed and published in time, inshallah, although
in truth all that extra work would probably not prove anything
dramatic not already exposed here.

The 5 Books of Moses will be referred to throughout as the OT5
and the 4 Gospels as the NT4.

In an effort to make the studies more accessible, for the actual
quotes, unless otherwise stated, a recent Bible version has been
used as opposed to, say, the public domain Authorised King
James Version (KJV) from 1611, revised 1769, because its old-
fashioned style of language and grammar is unfamiliar to most
readers today, and I herewith acknowledge my debt to the
organisation who did this modern translation, and include below
an excerpt from the general license agreement, followed by their
standard copyright notice, as requested:

May be quoted for any purpose, up to 1,000 verses, without
written permission. However, the extent of quotation must not
comprise a complete book nor should it amount to more than
50% of the work in which it is quoted. A copyright notice must
appear on the title or copyright page using this pattern:
Taken from the HOLY BIBLE: EASY-TO-READ VERSION™
© 2006 by World Bible Translation Center, Inc.
and used by permission.


An examination will show that these 2 studies comply with all
of the above.

For the record, here the number of verses quoted:
THIS IS JUDAISM ............ 990
THIS IS CHRISTIANITY .... 366

Should the reader be interested, the ERV website is
www.wbtc.org where you can download both the Old and
New Testaments that were used for these studies, in a choice
of several languages, but they do not yet offer the last and
final testament: the Quran.

For comparison and control of some of the most important verses,
the KJV is also quoted.

In order to make the studies more readable and straight-to-the-
point, only the most obvious examples are quoted in full text.
There are many more, some of which are referred to by book-
chapter-verse, and the interested reader can find others, left out
here for simplicity and also, in the case of the OT5, to comply
with the 1000-verses-per-work limit.
For the purposes of this restriction, I shall regard this as 2
separate studies, which in truth it is, and which must be
reasonable as each study refers to a separate work by WBTC,
each of those 2 carrying its own license agreement although
published together in 1 volume, precisely as this book.

8.
At a personal level, having browsed both the OT and the NT for
many years but never before read them thoroughly, I must say
to finally do so has been most interesting and time well spent.
And here is a challenge to all Jewish and Christian Islamophobes:

I have now read your books with an open mind -
now will you please read mine.

It is to be hoped that after reading these studies all
Islamophobes, in particular Jewish and Christian ones and those
professing those very Judeo-Christian "values" exposed here,
have realised that their chosen position is a wholly (holy?)
untenable one of nauseating hypocrisy, and we trust that none
of them, nor anybody else, will ever again accuse Islam and
Muslims, Muhammad (pbuh) and the Quran of being dangerous
and barbaric.

A confession and apology would of course be welcome but we can
live without that, and anyway both would come too late for the
hundreds of thousands good and innocent men, women and
children either blown to bits or maimed for life or for ever
deprived of their loved ones, plus millions more made refugees,
all sacrificed on the altar of that idiotic self-inflicted self-fulfilling
self-defeating colossal fraud known as The War on Terror,
imposed on the collective West by International Zionism.
Moloch disguised as Yahweh lives!

However, a radical change in the behaviour of Islamophobes is
not only long overdue but absolutely essential for a civilised
society. The time, resources, energy and enthusiasm they
dedicate to their obnoxious efforts could be much better invested:
before criticising and demonising Islam and Muslims, who
according to my world view have nothing to apologise for,
they should bring their own house in order.
Should they take up that challenge, they will be very busy for a
very long time, and we shall of course monitor their progress.

If this examination of Judaism and Christianity helps in any way
to reduce or reverse the mistrust of Islam and Muslims in general,
and the deliberately distorted image of the Quran and prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) in particular, then that is
adequate rewards for my efforts.

Allahu alam (=God knows).

Last minute - in October 2010 top Israeli rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who
is also the spiritual leader of the ultra-orthodox Shas party, which
currently has 11 MPs out of 120, plus 4 cabinet posts, stated:

"Goyim (non-Jews) were born only to serve us. Without that, they
have no place in the world, only to serve the people of Israel."

Here he is perfectly echoing the Law of Moses.
What more must Zionist Central Command say and do before
the world wakes up and starts fighting back?

Most people would probably agree that any religion or system of
thought which openly professes all the above should at most be
tolerated but certainly not encouraged, and it should be
contained, monitored and regulated closely.

All the conclusions follow logically from a rational and detached
reading of the text of the central books of the Jews and the
Christians: The Five Books of Moses and The Four Gospels, and
the author invites anyone to refute any particular point made.

That almost all the conclusions are negative, destructive and
uncivilised is not Islam's problem.

It is to be hoped that nobody who reads the 2 studies will ever
again accuse Islam and Muslims, Muhammad (pbuh) and the
Quran of being dangerous and barbaric.

ENOUGH! Judaism Intro

THIS IS JUDAISM

OT5-INTRODUCTION


1.
Having never before read the Old Testament (OT) thoroughly,
I must say to finally do so has been most interesting and time
well spent. And here is a challenge to all Jewish Islamophobes:
I have now read your book with an open mind -
now will you please read mine.

The first 5 books of the OT, here referred to throughout as the
OT5, are known variously as: the Pentateuch (Greek: the five
volumes), the Five Books of Moses, the Torah (=Tawrat to
Muslims), the Law, the Law of Moses, the Teachings, the
Instructions, and they incorporate what we all know as the Ten
Commandments, though Jewish scholars count a total of 613
specific rules or commandments, made up of 365 proscriptions
and 248 prescriptions.

Moses is generally believed to have lived around 1350 BCE
(1393-1273 BCE according to the Talmud) and most secular
scholars seem to agree that the various books of the OT we read
today were assembled and edited collectively for the first time
after the exile in Babylon (586-538 BCE), probably between 500
and 300 BCE, but possibly even as late as 200 BCE, so roughly
speaking 1000 years after Moses, but note that the authoritative
standard version used today, the Masoretic Text, dates from
around 1000 CE, or about 2300 years after Moses - a massive
span of time and generations, during which more or less anything
could have happened to the contents. For the purposes of this
study the precise century of composition is not critical.

2.
We realise that the OT of the Christian Bible (Greek: biblia
=books), 39 books in total, is not exactly the same as the Jewish
Bible, that being the Tanakh, consisting of 24 books in 3 sections:
the Torah (the first 5 books of the OT, traditionally attributed to
Moshe-Moses-Musa), the Prophets (8 books) and the Writings
(11 books), but it is the closest that someone not fluent in
Hebrew can get to the original and therefore the best we have
to work with for this study.

Also, the vast majority of readers invariably approach both the
Jewish and the Christian scriptures in "translation", in quotes here
because a better term would be re-telling or interpretation, due to
the fact that a completely literal translation in terms of meaning
is impossible.
Usually when we read the Quran in other than the original Arabic,
that version will state clearly on the cover not the expected
"translation" but, if in English, "interpretation of the meanings of
The Noble Quran in the English language", a much more accurate
and honest, and less misleading, way to prepare the reader, with
the clearly implied message: if you want the real thing, learn the
original language.

3.
As a Muslim I respect and revere without exception all the
prophets of the Jewish Tanakh, the Christian Bible and the Muslim
Quran, and it would be SO nice if Jews and Christians did the
same, but as regards the Moses of the OT5 we are faced with
a dilemma:

He is regarded by the Jews themselves as by far the greatest
prophet not only of Judaism but of all prophets ever, but it is
difficult to see him as much more than a tribal lawgiver and
military leader for that is about all he does in the OT5.
However much we would like to agree with the general
consensus, we find little or no basis for such claims in the first
place we ought to look: the OT5.

Also, and no offence is meant, we should all be grateful and
relieved that Moses is not our father. Always the ultra-
disciplinarian, it is difficult to imagine a harsher and more
merciless person than this, the ultimate control-freak.

Hopefully, the real Moses was very different and I am always
prepared to give the person Muslims call Musa the benefit of the
doubt.

Interestingly, there are a great number of references to Moses-
Musa in the Quran (150+) and they are universally respectful.
In contrast, Muhammad (pbuh) is only specifically mentioned a
few times.

The comments in this study refer only to the literal text of the
OT5 and do not attempt to guess about the "real" Moses, a task
which would be as impossible as it would be futile.
So, for the avoidance of doubt: any mention of Moses here,
unless otherwise stated, therefore means "the Moses of the OT5".

4.
Reading the OT5 it soon becomes clear that the God of Moses and
Israel, Yahweh, as described, is largely an anthropomorphic being
and therefore cannot possibly have anything to do with, or in any
way be related to, or the same as, the universal Creator-God of
Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) and surely this is
already conclusive proof, supporting Islamic claims, that the OT
we read today has been corrupted, maybe beyond recognition,
probably due to the text having been collected-compiled-
assembled-redacted-edited-transcribed-translated so many times
and in so many ways and by so many scribes before it finally
found its current form.

By far the most striking fact of the OT5 is something which is
conspicuous by its total absence: there is absolutely no mention
of spirituality or the hereafter, nothing about whether immortality
is achievable or even desirable, about everlasting life or salvation.
You may need to read that again. It is not that we missed it or
deliberately overlooked it, it simply is not there.
And as the OT5 forms the basis and the bulk of Judaic law,
we may categorically say and conclude that Judaism does not
concern itself at all with the hereafter but only with the here
and now.
Does that explain why Jews generally are obsessed with worldly
matters such as accumulating wealth?
Along the lines of idiotic T-shirt slogans such as:
"The one who dies with most toys wins!" and
"Life is not a rehearsal - THIS IS IT!".

If there is any spirituality to be found in the OT5 it must be so
well hidden and coded that it entirely eluded the inquisitive eye.
A most strange religion, if indeed such a system can be called a
religion at all.

And yet, when we read Judaism's 13 Principles of Faith, see
Appendix J1, we find that the first 5 have a striking resemblance
to the underlying and overarching characteristics of the deity of
both Christianity and in particular Islam.
Those Principles were formulated by Moses Maimonides (1137-
1204), the great Jewish philosopher from the Cordoba Caliphate
in Muslim Spain. At first controversial, then more or less ignored
for centuries, they later became the unofficial credo of Judaism,
and today most orthodox authorities hold these beliefs obligatory,
meaning that Jews who do not fully accept them all are
considered heretics.
However, this study establishes beyond doubt that the qualities
described in Principles 1-5 are no part of the deity of the OT5,
Yahweh, who is obviously the Israelites' equivalent of Moloch.
Interestingly, Principles 7-8-9 are about Moses and the Torah, and
express eternal unshakable faith in the superiority of Moses and
the finality and perfection of the Torah, which this study
demonstrates is not only void of spirituality but incoherent and
unreliable, so exposing glaring conflicts and contradictions within
the very principles and fabric of the faith.
But that is not our problem.

We are also entitled to ask: if Judaism's basic beliefs were first
presented in an organised manner around 1100 CE, and only
taken seriously and incorporated a few centuries later, what
exactly did Jews believe during the more than 2500 years
between Moses the prophet and the time the 13 Principles of
Moses Maimonides were officially recognised?

5.
Also, there is no universality, nothing about spreading the
message, and at least we understand why that is, for in truth
there is no message to spread: this is all for Jacob-Israel only-
solely-uniquely-exclusively.

It is therefore difficult, rather it is impossible, to escape the
reasonable conclusion that the 5 so-called Books of Moses, which
collectively read like a mixture of a fairytale and a horror story,
are a retrospective and desperate, so naturally self-serving and
flattering, attempt to provide a historical context and a (sort-of)
coherent background for a "people" and a "nation" previously
without both, hence also the obsession with being the chosen-
selected-superior ones and God's special people.

As for the God of Israel, he also seems to have been invented by
the Jews themselves, for themselves, in order to justify their
behaviour, then as now, in other words: the chosen people was
not only chosen by itself but it also chose (=invented) its God.
For telling Yahweh what to do, usually followed by his submissive
acquiescence, is typical of the Jews, there are apparently several
examples in rabbinic literature, where it is claimed that when the
Elders of Zion speak, Yahweh takes note. Says it all, does it not?
It is difficult to imagine a mindset more stupefyingly arrogant.
Is it not also obvious that such a deity must be a complete
fabrication of the human mind?
That the resulting book is vitally important to that group of people
is understandable, just like personally, being Scandinavian, I am
not only interested in but attached to and proud of my Viking
heritage and forefathers. The tragedy with the OT is that it has
been taken as the literal truth not only by the associated group
itself but, via Christianity, by so many around the world who have
no real connection with the book. Why should I be persuaded to
believe or follow anything in a book that is demonstrably NOT
written for me, and which specifically excludes me?
Incomprehensible.
And contrary to common misconceptions, Christianity is NOT for
everyone but for the Jews only, as clearly and repeatedly stated
by Jesus himself, see THIS IS CHRISTIANITY for the evidence.
Therefore, in stark and obvious contrast to the scriptures of the
other 2 Abrahamic faiths, the Quran transmitted by Muhammad
(pbuh) is the only one of the 3 addressed to all of humanity and
its message is universal.
Al-hamdu-lillah! (=the praise belongs to God).

Now, anyone can write down such a harmless dream of wishful
thinking, and there is absolutely nothing wrong in doing so, it is
only when someone starts to take it seriously it becomes
dangerous, and once you endow it with any kind of divinity it
becomes lethal and hyper-destructive as it indisputably has in this
particular case, to the deceit, detriment, destitution, destruction
and death of all it comes into contact with, as well as causing
little but misery for the chosen-selected-superior ones
themselves, and not only in the past.

This is still the case today although Judaism on its own is almost
invisible and powerless, representing an insignificant and
shrinking 0.2% of humanity (c 13 million out of c 6800 million),
whereas Muslims currently make up c 23% and rising fast,
meaning there are now approximately 120 Muslims for every Jew.
And, as we shall demonstrate, 9 out of 10 "Jews" are not Jewish.

But allied with Christianity and multi-national mega-business it
is a very different situation, so that Judaism, in its secular
manifestation Zionism, also known as the New World Order,
indisputably represents a clear and present danger to everybody
else.
Surely only the deaf and blind can fail to notice that International
Zionism is doing its very best to achieve world domination, sadly
and tragically ably assisted by Christianity in all its various
denominations.

The most obvious and terrifying example is American Evangelical
Christians, tens of millions of them and Zionists every one, and
judging by their deranged utterances they would be delighted,
indeed enraptured, if they could manage to translate their
Zionist-driven grotesquely disproportionate influence over US
foreign policy into somehow blowing up at least the Holy Land,
preferably the wider Middle East and ideally a whole lot more, as
it might trigger the second coming of the Messiah. HALLELUJAH!
Sheer insanity. And incredibly dangerous fundamentalism of
the most radical-fanatical-extremist kind.

Every Christian knows that their prophet Jesus was condemned
to death by the Jews, who were specifically asked if they wanted
him or someone else freed. They wanted Jesus dead.
Yet no Christian seems to have any animosity towards the Jews
because of that, at least not any more, today.
Not only very strange but incomprehensible.

6.
Does its lack of spirituality explain why Judaism has plans to take
over the world and control all the goyim?
Many Islamophobes have condemned the treatment of dhimmah
(=non-Muslim subjects) in Islamic states over the centuries,
however, as this study demonstrates, it is clear from the Law of
Moses that you will always be better off a dhimmi than a goy.

Zionism is basically a secular ideology, and both in theory and
practice just as abhorrent as Nazism when viewed objectively.
Anyone examining the 2 ideologies side by side will soon conclude
that Zionism and Nazism are so similar as to be almost
indistinguishable from each other.
Oh yes, do your own research and come back to discuss.

The greatest of many embarrassments to the Zionists is probably
their close cooperation with the Nazis, encouraging and
facilitating the persecution of their fellow Jews in Europe in order
to increase the pressure for a "homeland" for the Jews in
Palestine.
Are there any reliable estimates of how many of the claimed 6
million Jews eradicated by Hitler's Germany died as a direct result
of Zionist collaboration? If no such estimates are available, we are
entitled not only to ask: "Why not?" but also to demand
international funding for the necessary transparent research to
give us all a credible answer.

7.
Carrying out this study brought up another glaring contradiction:
As regards crime and punishment, Jews, however ultra-orthodox,
are no longer being faithful to their faith, assuming they ever
were, for they formally gave up strict adherence to the written
Torah around 2000 years ago, and if we can put a date on it, it
happened in 30 CE when the Elders of Zion effectively abolished
it. Now, 30 CE is of course just about the same year that we are
asked to believe that Jesus was executed to satisfy Jewish
demands. A most interesting concurrence which is addressed in
THIS IS CHRISTIANITY.

In the OT5 there are 36 offences, and as we shall see some of
them absolutely trivial and not worthy of being called offences,
for which the death sentence is prescribed. However, rather than
taking the text seriously, respectfully and literally, little fallible
humans, in the form of learned rabbis, imposed so many of their
own restrictions and conditions upon the supposedly divinely
revealed and eternally valid law of their mighty prophet Moses
that, in terms of the death penalty, it was virtually put beyond
practical use, though it was still claimed to have a real deterrent
effect. That is very difficult to see, for why should anyone be
afraid of a law that remains on the statute books but everybody
knows is never used?

So, whilst technically neither re-writing nor revoking the Law of
Moses, some of its most fundamental provisions were rendered
ineffectual by its very adherents and devout followers. They may
well have done it with the best of motives but it is indisputably a
massive case of innovation and deviation. How embarrassing for
Judaism. But that is not our problem.

However, judging by the comments and behaviour of the Jews
down the ages, it is painfully clear that, like all the other laws of
Judaism, unless specifically otherwise stated, the above only
applies among the Jews themselves, leaving them free and
kosher to persecute and eradicate anyone else they do not like.

8.
It is very important to point out that there is nothing new in the
10 Commandments, nor in the Law of Moses as a whole. That
may come as a surprise to many but the collection is clearly
based on laws from earlier Mesopotamian cultures, which codified
their laws from at least c 2400 BCE, or about 1100 years before
Moses and the setting of the last 4 of the 5 books of the OT5, the
most famous being the Code of Hammurabi, 6th king of Babylon,
from c 1800 BCE and still surviving today carved in stone, where,
for example, among the 282 specific laws (66 > 99 are sadly
missing) we find the "eye for an eye" (law 196), the "bone for a
bone" (law 197) and the "tooth for a tooth" (law 200) that we all
know from the OT5, so neither Jews nor Christians can claim that,
hallelujah, at long last and for the very first time humanity had a
written framework regulating social behaviour and communal
responsibilities. It also proves that the scribes behind the OT had
detailed knowledge of the earlier laws.

What we also find in these much older collections of laws is the
custom of attaching blessings and curses when making solemn
vows or contracts, identical to the equivalent situations in the
OT5, where for example a patriarch hands over to a son to
become the new head of the family (Gen.27 Isaac to Jacob, and
Gen.49 Jacob-Israel to Joseph and the 11 others), or Moses, just
before dying, restating the Israelites' contract with Yahweh,
followed by blessing the tribes individually (Deut.33 + Deut.34).

Another striking and perhaps the most fundamental and revealing
similarity is this:
Hammurabi claims a divine calling as the inspiration, justification
and authority for his entire law-giving exercise, precisely like
Moses does hundreds of years and many generations later.
So not even the basic concept is new, and neither Jews nor
Christians can therefore seriously suggest that the OT5 is
"Copyright the God of Israel, YAHWEH, Original First Edition, All
Rights Reserved for Eternity". Nor ask us to believe that, if you
remember to bring it along, your very own copy will be signed
personally by Yahweh on Judgement Day.
Instead we must ask: is there anything new under the sun?

Collectively the above shows that, far from being a unique and
sudden revolutionary leap of progress which might seem
inexplicable unless we allow for divine intervention, the whole
process described in the OT5 fits seamlessly into the overall
cultural panorama of the region and the times.
Indeed, unless the whole story or individual chapters or just
single events or characters can be conclusively proven from other
sources, be it scriptural, historical, archaeological or other, the
most plausible explanation is to suggest that the OT5 was
probably constructed without great difficulties entirely from
existing sources plus imagination, and until we know better we
have no good reason to believe that any of it ever took place as
described.

9.
The OT5 is so long drawn-out, endlessly repeating laws, rules and
regulations, as well as the original promise to Abraham-Isaac-
Jacob - WHY? Tedious in the extreme and frequently really
annoying. Were they short of serious material? Did they think that
a bigger book or longer scrolls would be more impressive and
persuasive? It is probably again a function of the OT we read
today having been compiled from many different books.
The result is like a dish which should have been made with 100
percent meat but because of a shortage of meat it was made with
only 35 percent meat and 65 percent flour. To continue the
metaphor: it is very filling, not very tasty and frequently the
consumer is inclined to just leave it.

But there is another way to look at this: is the text we read only a
carrier medium for an underlying and different message entirely,
and did the text therefore have to be a certain minimum size or
length to accommodate that message, and were the useful and
informative parts therefore stretched and repeated in order to
achieve this?
Much has been written and said about The Bible Code and it is
beyond the scope of this study to pursue the subject, but it would
be foolish to rule anything out.

It is relevant here to point out that it was proven in the 1970s
that the Quran is constructed as a matrix which revolves around
the number 19, which is the sum of the numerical values of the 4
letters making up the Arabic word wahid (=one=monotheism)
(wau+alif+he+de = 6+1+8+4 = 19), just as the Arabic phrase
"bismillah ar rahmaani ar raheem", usually interpreted as: "in the
name of God, the compassionate, the merciful", which heads
every single surah (=chapter) of the Quran, except no 9, is made
up of 19 letters, and this fact is specifically referred to in the
Quran itself: "Over it are nineteen" (Quran.74:30).

Interested readers are invited to visit www.quranmiracles.com.

10.
Although beyond the scope of this study to examine the following
problem in detail, on reading OT5 book 1, Genesis, it quickly
becomes quite obvious that the first few chapters contain many
impossible contradictions, particularly as regards timing.
We must therefore accept that the Genesis we read today is a
combination of at least two and probably more older source
documents.

And it can be proven that one of the most important and well-
known scenes of all is borrowed from existing works: the entire
flood story of Noah, in some aspects down to detail, is also found
in tablet 11 of the older Sumerian epic Gilgamesh from c 1300
BCE, and that flood story is in turn adapted from that of the even
older Atra-Hasis epic from c 1800 BCE.

This of course has ramifications for the entire OT and for that
matter also for the entire NT, for what is demonstrably the case
with Genesis may also apply to all the rest, whether immediately
obvious or not. The importance of this observation is that it
proves that the OT, or even the first 5 books of it collectively, did
not suddenly arrive as a coherent whole, did not drop out of the
sky into the eagerly waiting hand of Moses as a single revealed
work, nor was it laboriously written by Moses himself start to
finish, and unchanged from way back then until today.

As this study demonstrates, the OT5 we read today is full of
inconsistencies, contradictions and sheer impossibilities, in short,
it is an incoherent and unreliable text, and Islamic claims that
both the OT and the NT have been corrupted, maybe beyond
recognition of the original, are not only perfectly reasonable but
the logical conclusion we must draw. That is of course highly
embarrassing and most inconvenient for both Judaism and
Christianity, but that is not our problem, we have every right to
point this out, and when unfairly attacked we have every right to
defend ourselves.
